Question
i was installing my subs in my back seat and i was drilling in the plate of the inside of my truck and all of a sudden my entire radio goes off ...and it looks like the illumination wires came loose... can u explain to me how to hook them back up to where i can see the illumination on the radio
Sorry for the delay; been out of town for a few days..
Maybe you have solved the problem by now.
You must connect the wires up that provide the illumination. The most sure way - not a good idea to just guess - is to consult with the wiring diagrams/color codes for your xplod and for your car.
You can find the installation manual for all Sony xplod products on the Sony.com downloading sites.

And to get the wiring chart for your car you can start here:

Or, you can google the car and year of your vehicle.
Let me know if you need further guidance.
